Gaming Regulators Development Program

Overview

February 14-18, 2011

The University of Nevada Las Vegas (UNLV) International Gaming Institute (IGI) has created a dynamic program custom designed
for policy making gaming regulators. The International Gaming Institute is an extension of the William F. Harrah College of Hotel Administration, the academic home to one of the nation's premier
education programs in resort, tourism, recreation, and gaming
management.

The IGI Gaming Regulators Development Program is designed
to increase knowledge and gaming skills while enhancing a
participant's knowledge of gaming regulation.

The program curriculum addresses ways for gaming regulators to
become more aggressive and confident in the areas of
organizational management, problem solving, strategic analysis
and the gaming industry.

Who Should Attend:

This program is designed for new gaming regulators and policy makers with less than three (3) years of experience in a regulatory capacity. Participants may be new to the regulatory position or new to government. However, only policy or law enforcement officials who oversee, support or run organizations that regulate casino type gaming will be considered. Regulators working in a part-time capacity will be considered as long as they are in a policy making or licensing position.

Participants will have varied backgrounds in law, finance, law enforcement, and business. All must share an interest in expanding their knowledge of gaming regulation and improving the government entity where they work.

Curriculum

The curriculum will be facilitated through case studies, classroom lecture and group projects. In addition, participants have the opportunity to increase their knowledge and understanding of the gaming industry through problem-solving simulations, role playing activities and group and team building exercises. Participants exchange ideas with experienced faculty and industry professionals, as well as, an extremely diverse group of participants.
